Ok.. I think it's time for some slightly positive news for us folks waiting in the land of limbo....
Called CIC this morning & spoke to a very nice agent. Explained that I had sent my inland app & OWP in January to Mississuaga, was anxious about my implied status (visa ends next month) etc etc. She asked for a few details such as my name, DOB, nationality, telephone.
She checked on her system & asked if my middle name was "****" , I said yes, & she said not to worry. I'm in the system! She said that I will get an AOR (& she knew what an AOR/Acknowledgment of receipt was) at some point & that I have implied status.
So any of you guys that sent it direct to Mississuaga before me should HOPEFULLY be in the system. No AOR yet, but better than hearing there's nothing in their system & our application doesn't exist.
This is good news right?
